Jon Wessels

 

I’m Jon Wessels, the owner and operator of Caring Transitions of Eastern Iowa, and I opened this business because I saw an opportunity to help people. In addition to the work I do with Caring Transitions, I have worked in the estate planning industry since 1991. I’ve seen the issues people face as they go through a transition in their life – older adults getting ready to downsize, seniors trying to decide how to pass their property onto the next generation, their kids trying to sell the house after their loved one has passed – it’s a lot to deal with, especially on your own.

 

Caring Transitions’ services are perfect for seniors moving in with family or into a safer living situation as well as busy families and people clearing out the home of a loved one who has passed. All of Caring Transitions’ services are customizable, so clients only pay for the services they need – whether that means managing the entire move and estate-clearing or just getting someone resettled into their new place.

 

We are here to help our clients through a phase of life that isn’t always easy. We sit down to help them talk through what they’re facing and create a plan to meet their goals. Whether they end up needing Caring Transitions or not, we want them to feel good about their next steps. It’s about helping people navigate a difficult time and get to the next chapter in their lives.

 

My wife, Teresa, and I have been married since 1988. We have two children, Jordan and Tayler, and three grandchildren, Dane, Cora and Evelyn. A loyal and long-time associate, Christy Briggs, helps me with the day-to-day operations, marketing, networking and business development. Our goal with Caring Transitions of Eastern Iowa is to build a business helping clients with a network of driven individuals who see the value of what we do and want Caring Transitions to thrive in their community. This business is about serving the community and making lives easier for our clients
